Chapter 794 The situation is critical
Chapter 794 The situation is critical
The intensity of the competition between the two teams in the last quarter has almost risen to another level. The bodies of the two sides collided fiercely, and you can feel tired just watching it.
However, under this suffocating defensive pressure, the Rockets couldn't restrain Li Weisi.
This time, Li Weisi entered the restricted area again, but compared to before, this time the Rockets chased and intercepted Li Weisi became more ferocious. Originally, they had to estimate who they were guarding, but now, when they almost see Li Weisi, they will subconsciously He rushed over to defend Li Weisi.
There was no way, at this time Li Weisi felt his hand was burning hot, especially in the second half, he almost missed every shot.
And when Li Weisi made a shot, almost every time it meant that the Warriors were going to rise up. Thanks to the Rockets going all out, Olajuwon and Drexler stepped up to respond in time, and the Rockets were not defeated by the Warriors again and again. pull away.
But this kind of game situation really made all the Rockets feel tired and felt that they were completely passive. Even until now, every time they saw Li Weisi take the ball, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Therefore, whenever Li Weisi gets the ball, they can't help but want to intercept Li Weisi to prevent him from continuing to score.
At this time, in front of Li Weisi, there were at least three people rushing towards him. Seeing that he was about to be surrounded in the next second, Li Weisi flicked his wrist and accurately distributed the ball to Mu who was on the farthest side of the weak side. After the latter received the ball, Lin immediately made a shot and hit a three-pointer.
Because Li Weisi's offensive threat was too great at this time, other Warriors players also got a lot of opportunities, making the Warriors' offense smoother.
This three-pointer is more like a signal, a signal that the Rockets are about to collapse.
Immediately afterwards, in the next round, Drexler's layup was missed under the interference of Rodman, and Rodman accepted the rebound, and the Warriors pushed back again.
At the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, Horry, who had been replacing Rodman before, was replaced, and Rodman was replaced again.
Although Horry performed well this time, scoring 5 points on 3 of 11 three-pointers, and helped the team chase points with his fascinated luck at the beginning of the second half, but at the decisive moment, he still could not replace Rodman on the court. Nelson also trusts Rodman more because of the above role.
Of course, during this period of time, Nelson replaced him and put Rodman on the court. In fact, he declared that his substitution adjustment before the game was a failure. The game didn't play the role Nelson wanted him to play.
However, although the substitution failed, the game was about to win.
The Warriors' counterattack was quick, and the battle ignited the Rockets' half court almost instantly. At this time, Li Weisi was still dribbling, with his teammate Richmond on one side, and Maxwell following him in front of him.
Here we must praise Maxwell's talent. When he started, he was far away from Li Weisi, but before Li Weisi reached the three-point line, Maxwell had already caught up with Li Weisi, and through his strong body, he kept Squeezing Li Weisi's offensive line.
In this case, Li Weisi's speed was greatly affected, causing the Rockets players chasing after him to get closer and closer. It seemed that Li Weisi would be able to catch up when he reached the basket.
However, Li Weisi did not panic at all. He responded calmly. First, he used a change of direction to mobilize Maxwell. When he felt Maxwell's center of gravity also began to move, he suddenly glanced at the direction of Mu Lin with his eyes. Li Weisi's hand also suddenly pulled the ball to the right.
Although Maxwell was also moving at high speed, he saw Li Weisi's eyes at a glance, and after seeing Li Weisi's hand movements, he immediately realized that he was going to pass the ball.
The reason why Li Weisi's next move can be judged so quickly is mainly because this is an extremely correct decision. Compared with him who is constantly harassed by himself, the unguarded Mu Lin is obviously more suitable for ending people.
After making the judgment, Maxwell immediately chose to run in the direction of Mullin, but then he saw that Li Weisi, who had originally pulled the ball to the right, suddenly made a behind-the-back dribble, and then dribbled the ball straight with his left hand. Run straight toward the basket.
And because of the running direction just changed, it is completely impossible for Maxwell to change direction and chase again at this time, so he can only pay attention to Li Weisi's layup.
In this way, in Maxwell's affectionate eyes, Li Weisi easily made a layup.
At this time, the point difference has been opened to 7 points, and the situation is already quite unfavorable for the Rockets.
In the following games, the Rockets still failed to create a miracle. Although the point difference was not big, the Rockets were still unable to recover the score.
In the end, although Olajuwon scored 34 points and 11 assists, Drexler scored 31 points, and the Rockets duo scored 64 points reasonably, they still lost the game 117:126.
It's not that our side doesn't work hard, it's because there is a Gundam on the opposite side.
Although the Rockets' two giants performed well, compared with Li Weisi, it still feels that everyone is not in the same realm.
Li Weisi, who only scored 16 points in the first half, scored 52 points and 8 assists in the game, and made 9 of 7 three-pointers. He almost forcibly beat the Rockets to the ground by himself.
This kind of performance is enough to shut up all the people who bad-mouthed Li Weisi before the game.
After this campaign, even the harshest person can't criticize Li Weisi's performance in this game.
In this way, relying on Li Weisi's outstanding performance, the Warriors finally regained a difficult game at home and tied the series with a big score of 1:1.
However, although the Warriors won this game heartily, it is based on Li Weisi's outstanding performance after all. The Warriors cannot count on Li Weisi's performance in every game.
In terms of team tactics and player arrangements, the Warriors have always been the passive side, completely at a disadvantage. It can be said that if it weren't for Li Weisi's change of fate, the Warriors would probably lose.
But even if they escaped this loss, the Warriors who have not changed will still not be able to change the coming of the next loss.
Soon, at the Compaq Center in Houston on May 5, the Warriors lost again 25:105 away from the Rockets.
Although Li Weisi scored a large double-double of 33 points and 13 assists in this game, Olajuwon scored 41 points and 11 rebounds in this game, completely ravaging the Warriors inside.
So far, the big score of the entire series has come to 1:2. If the Warriors do not make any changes, then they are really likely to follow in the footsteps of the second-ranked Spurs and the third-ranked Jazz in the Western Conference, and become a stepping stone for the Rockets to continue their dark horse road. stepping stone.
